So does this mean these are the protected players? Players that cannot be grabbed by other teams?

No.
Protected players are announced each week prior to game

 

[YankeeRebel]

No.
Protected players are announced each week prior to game

Okay so any player on a PS can be snagged by any other team

Not exactly.
If they poach a player, he must go on 53 man roster
They cannot poach one of the 4 protected players
They cannot force a player to go. If he wants to stay, he can tell the other team no.
Some of our PS know they will be given a chance to make the 53 and have been told so.
Some players are getting higher than minimum salaries.
Etc.

Players I was happy to keep.

“The practice squad is the practice squad,” Belichick said. “It’s a way to keep some additional players around to help you practice and possibly develop. I would say you’re talking about the, well it’s 60th to the 70th players, I don’t know how many of those players have a dramatic impact on any team in the league year in and year out. Do they provide some depth? Yes. Do they develop into big players? I’m not sure how many would fall into that category. My guess is not very many. But there are probably a couple here or there. So I think a lot of those, the end of it isn’t overly significant.”

Belichick added: “But it’s part of your roster, and management, and practicing and fundamentally working through your team. But locker room’s more crowded, training room’s more crowded, more players on the practice field, more players in the meeting room, more people to manage with the hope that they’ll be able to give you some depth. It is what it is.”
